Contrary to what anyone says, the monster in those weird locked rooms is NOTHING to do with me.

I mean


I may have let it out. But it wasn't me who put it there in the first place.

[ Even if it's just five letters on a screen, Jacob knows the disapproval in that tone.

It didn't work for Ethan, or Evie, or anyone else.]

What? I'm still fighting the bloody things aren't I?

[borntohurt]

Yes.

You should not be telling everyone you let it loose.

private

[nothinglikefather]

What if it was me? Shouldn't I be responsible for that? Everyone keeps telling me I need to be responsible.

private

[borntohurt]

I think the responsible thing would be taking care of the monster.

But, you are probably right.

[nothinglikefather]

Monsters.Cutting them in half is a mistake.

Love, what do you think I've been doing? When have I ever shyed away from a fight?

[borntohurt]

I know.

You know I'm with you.

[nothinglikefather]

Its not your fault, not your fight.

Just... make sure none of the rest of these idiots get hurt.

[borntohurt]

Your fight is my fight. Always.

[nothinglikefather]

You have a talent for saying things that make me want to kiss you.

[borntohurt]

Later.

We'll have time.

[nothinglikefather]

I hope so. It's hard to feel that anything is permenant anymore.

[borntohurt]

We found each other again.

All the paths we could have walked, all the worlds we could have ended up on, and we are here. Together.

[ There's a moment. Is he fighting a void monster, or does goes he feel such intense love for this man in that moment that he doesn't know how on earth to express it?]

Where are you?

[borntohurt]

Lowest level, near the park.

[nothinglikefather]

Good, stay put. I'll just deal with these... whatever they are and be right with you.

[borntohurt]

You sure?

I can find you.

[nothinglikefather]

How can I resist? Come on then.

One day we'll have to see how good your tracking is versus my hiding.

[borntohurt]

Hopefully not because we need to.

[nothinglikefather]

If we had it, it'd be good to know if you could track me, and vice versa.

Besides that, it might be a good way of working off some excess energy.

[borntohurt]

Focus on fighting first.

Then

Maybe. Better find somewhere good to hide.

[nothinglikefather]

It'll be very private, I promise.
